Early Voting has begun! You can show support for local child care providers by voting for Prop 2. Prop 2 provides needed property tax relief for child care providers who serve low-income children & could impact nearly 13,300 families in Tarrant County. bit.ly/3Q6SyCq

Thank you to @PNCBank and the Dallas Chamber of Commerce for raising your voices!
The child care crisis is hurting Texas parents, kids, and employers.
We need Texas leaders & Congress to ensure parents have options.

Home child care providers in Grand Prairie decreased from 33 to 26 since the start of the pandemic.
Providers are fighting a city ordinance that doesn't allow them to become licensed, limiting the # of kids they can care for + funding star-telegram.com/news/local… via @startelegram

Its a critical time for communities to think through universal choices for families with children 0-5. And "mixed delivery system" is a concept to watch in action in successful communities. @ChildCareAssoc @CityofFortWorth @CityOfArlington tinyurl.com/3e7meaxt

It's time to make a change. Child care educators earn less than Buc-ee's cashiers. Appreciate @CityofFortWorth, @CityOfArlington, @TarrantCountyTX, @ Workforce Solutions coming together to create a salary supplement for Texas Rising Star child care educators.
Local child care educators should expect to see an income boost in the coming months thanks to a $2 million investment spearheaded by Workforce Solutions for Tarrant County, @ChildCareAssoc, and a trio of city and county leaders. fortworthinc.com/news/2-mill…

NEW in @TheAtlantic: We need to talk about just how much of a BFD the child care & pre-K parts of #BuildBackBetter are! Millions of families are, at long last, about to get life-changing support.

We must invest in quality #childcare before expanding investments in Pre-K. Child care needed for working parents cannot survive Pre-K expansion unless a GREATER investment in 0-3. #BuildBackBetter
